Weather of June, 1910. 

 The temperature of the month was somewhat below the 

 average for June, and there was quiet a marked excess in the 

 rainfall during the month. Rain was of almost daily occur- 

 rence during the first twelve days of the month, with a general 

 and heavy rainstorm on the 10th, 11th and the 12th. The 

 rainfall during the remainder of the month consisted of 

 well-distributed showers. The total precipitation for the 

 month ranged from 1 to 2 inches above the normal. The 

 temperatures throughout the month were unusually even, 

 there being no marked extremes in the maximum or the 

 minimum temperatures. During a warm period from the 

 20th to the 23d the maximum temperatures ranged from 88° 

 to 94°, but with slight exceptions in some localities the tem- 

 peratures did not rise to 90^ through the rest of the month. 

 The first week of the month was unseasonably cool, with the 

 night temperatures near 50° or slightly below, and the day 

 temperatures rising but little if any above 75°. There was 

 an unusual prevalence of cloudiness, the skies being overcast 

 on twelve days, partly cloudy on eleven days and clear on 

 seven days. The winds were light and variable, and in coast 

 sections there was more than the average amount of fog. The 

 abundant rainfall was very beneficial to agricultural inter- 

 ests, but higher temperatures with more sunshine would have 

 been a decided improvement.
